Distinguished Service Award

In 2006 LIR established the Distinguished Service Award to be given each year to an outstanding LIR member or instructor. This award is presented annually at the Spring Annual Meeting. In addition to receiving an award, the recipient will have his or her name engraved on a plaque to be placed on an LIR Distinguished Service Award board housed outside the Office of Continuing Education in Morris Hall.

All members of LIR and all LIR instructors and program leaders, past and present (with the exception of current board members or employees of UW-L), are eligible. Any current member of LIR may make a nomination. The Executive Committee reviews the nominations made by the members and selects the recipient of this annual award.

Members are asked to use the following format to make a nomination for a recipient of the 2012 Award which will be presented at the annual spring breakfast meeting. This format will include the name of the nominee, the nominator and 50 to 100 words describing the exceptional contributions this nominee has made to Learning in Retirement.

Nomination Deadline: April 13, 2012

E-mail your nomination to kdeschepper@uwlax.edu  or mail to: Karen DeSchepper, Office of Continuing Education, UW-L, 1725 State St., 205 Morris Hall, La Crosse, WI 54601
